The first and most obvious factor to consider is the reputation of the company you want to join. Are they legit? Do they pay their distributor? How long have they been around? Is there a great compensation plan? Are the products popular in the marketplace? Is the product exclusive or are you peddling another saturated market? Is there scope for customers AND distributors? Does the company provide testimonials? Better yet, do the customers and distributors provide testimonials? These are just some of the questions you should be asking yourself when considering a business opportunity.

You see it all the time, “get rich quick” and other related terms. This brings me to the point that you need to investigate the compensation plan and all the costs involved to get started.

This is key to find out for short term cash flow, but then you also need to investigate the prospect for long term growth with residual income, bonuses, and even a profit share with the parent company once you reach the higher ranks. This will either make or break your future growth potential.
